This is truly epic...I think no one present will ever forget that day. Extraordinary.

[@samroberts8365]

Love how everyone got involved like it was a group catch. Kyle hooked it but definitely a team effort. Well done !

[@Stonehorn]

Marlin are a group catch. On boats we use big steel and wood fighting chairs, and you need a leaderman and a gaffleman with great captain. It can take an hour to land a 600-1000lb Marlin. My biggest was 730lbs, and that was 20 years ago. We use a 41’ Regulator fishing boat rigged out specifically for Marlin and Tuna. My point is, this was an incredible job by these guys. It’s not a wold class marlin, but doing it on land is incredible.

[@robertgallacher7214]

Awesome job, even better to have it documented and weighed as well. Beautiful fish and great piece of angling to land it.

[@lanikondrackas]

Glad you enjoyed it

That’s actually next level! massive congrats Kyle and team!!

A couple of handheld VHFs tuned into the local boat to boat channels always come in handy in those situations.

[@mattszarowicz5049]

My question is how do you even cast that far in thelat strong of wind

I love that no one else even considers putting another bait out cause like what are you gonna hook… another 400 pound marlin?😂

Rather see one landed then two lost 🤷‍♂️😁

they would tangle and the guy who casted after first one was hooked would be beat up...

Worth 1000 in the boat. Epic fish bro

[@watertothepeople]

simply amazing, the accomplishment, the teamwork, my outmost respect. That would be a dream to have a go at this. I wonder, could you contact these boats that come to close by radio? Do some of them maybe even think you need help and com closer because you wave your arms and scream??

[@lanikondrackas]

Usually they can't see the fish or the line! I'm not sure if anyone ever has bothered to carry a UHF down but it's a good idea! They sometimes use a sound horn or whistle 😂

Uma briga fantástica e uma decisão lamentável de matar o peixe. Porque nao soltar uma matriz tao linda como essa??? 😢😢😢😢

[@rightson750]

Probably would not have survived after that fight. Usually, when caught in a boat, the fish I held against the current, revived as the water flows over the gills, then released whn ready. Just my opinion of course.

[@xe8573]

You need handheld UHF and VHF to ‘communicate’ with nuffty clueless boaties.

[@muriloandrade7676]

Incrível enquanto foi uma briga justa, depois de trazer até a margem e provar que conseguiu por que matar e retirar uma matriz dessa da água, terrível decisão! Sem necessidade. ( Portuguese)

[@peterRobinson10101]

because its a fish and we eat fish. we have canines. its much better to kill and eat ("go peter kill and eat"-bible verse) and respect the life taken than buy meat at a supermarket.

[@muriloandrade7676]

@@peterRobinson10101 One mistake doesn't justify the other, and obviously you didn't hunt to eat, it's not your need. You are as consumerist as the one who goes shopping at the market

[@badm.d]

Definitely a few bigger ones have been landed, Still amazing! Aussies been doing this for almost 60 years now and people still think morning tide is top fishing....

[@kevingrenville5903]

It would be so much easier if you guys fishing the tubes had a radio so u could let the boaters know u are hooked up, instead of just screaming like wankers and expecting them to be able to hear u. It’s hard enough to se your balloons floating around let alone hear u yelling out

[@timkippax3568]

I feel like this is comparable to landing a muskie on a crappie set up.

[@falkbrosgen221]

What's with all that "rod jerking" at the beginning?

[@macflyadventures]

Doesn't count unless u cast the bait.

[@tomnut5800]

Fricking amazing

[@jamescfishing]

Would’ve been a lot cooler if ya released it.

[@lanikondrackas]

There's a extremely low chance a fish of that size after a 59min fight surviving.. It would of most likely sunk too the bottom, it's a pelagic fish it needs the water going through it to provide oxygen.. We don't get that luxury as you know it all boaties do. There's no dint in the marlin population and a fish of that size is a scupper compared too the ones they catch on the GBR.. So killing one land based which you are even lucky to land one in your life time isn't going to effect that 😅🤗

[@jamescfishing]

You guys may not have any issues with your population but we have seen a decrease in our blue marlin (east coast USA). We use bigger reels (80w minimum- usually 130s) to land them faster and avoid killing them. Just a thought.

[@alexanderren1097]

@@jamescfishingWhy do boat fishermen feel the need to criticize a totally legal harvest and what’s probably a once in a lifetime catch from shore (or kayaks) when it’s boats that are putting the most pressure on billfish populations? If you’re catching and releasing marlin from boats then I guarantee you’re killing more fish than these guys are. Even if you do everything right, the survival rate of your fish isn’t going to be 100%

[@robertgallacher7214]

@@alexanderren1097 I wouldn't bother replying mate. The recreational American saltwater fishery probably kills more tonnage of fish than the rest of the global population put together. Have a look at some of their striped bass videos, like UK mackerel fishing. Your points regarding length of fight and the likelihood of the fish sinking are spot on. Given he reckons their Blue Marlin population is decreasing (it's probably not, they will just have moved for a better food source, Blues and BFT do it all the time,keeps the alarmist element of Marine Biologists well funded ) maybe what they are doing isn't so good after all.

[@jamescfishing]

Just use heavier reels and don’t stick a gaff in it. Pretty sure “us boat fisherman” give billfish a better chance than than anyone gaffing a billfish. We tag and track them and the fish live long after the releases. Kill your fish, whatever. I’d like to come catch a black one day down there but maybe I’ll save my money.
